Overview
The Spring Energy Gel Awesome Sauce (Vegan) provides a delicious way to fuel for your high-intensity training runs and races. This energy gel tastes like apple pie and goes down smooth. Re-energize with a unique formula with Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) fats which are quick to be absorbed by the liver for quick energy access. Using different absorption pathways than traditional carbohydrates, the MCTs fats are able to relieve the way glucose gets into your system so you can avoid unwanted GI issues. Additionally, no refined sugar or maltodextrin means you will get sustained energy without spikes or crashes.

Awesome sauceNot as smooth as it use to be. Has more of a texture and syrup thickness.

Tasty tasty lil treatI love these gels. It took me a while to bite the bullet and try them bc they are expensive but so very worth it. I have a very sensitive stomach during ultras and these never give me an issue. Honestly I call them my rocket fuel bc 10 mins after eating one I feel super energized

Great for long run refuelingThis is one of the best gels for fueling on long runs, especially low/moderate efforts. The ingredients are all natural which gives it a "healthy" feel. My energy levels don't spike, and instead I keep a consistent effort through the 45-70 minutes before refueling again. Thank you Spring!

Old Hiker!My daughter used this product exclusively last year while running in the LT 100 ultra marathon in Colorado. So, I decided to try them on my hikes in the Elkhorn Mountains of Oregon. Even though the snow still hinders a good long hike, I was able to gain over 1000ft in 2-3 miles. I took some of this Spring apple cinnamon pie and used it to boost my energy. It is much easier to use than the gels I usually use. It helped me keep my energy levels up and could have gone all day if not for the snow. At 68 I don't do much running any more, but still love to hike. Fully plan to use Spring products for two major hikes this summer, R2R in the Grand Canyon and Mt. Whitney in the Sierras. Thank you for a great product, even for us Old Hikers!

Good productI’m a pretty competitive runner just getting into marathons and tried multiple gels. This gel goes down a lot easier than any others I tried and can be taken without water which is the biggest factor for me

Do you need 80-100 grams of carbs per hour?The only gel I look forward to having. Tastes great, high in carbs, no GI issues.
Fancy Apple SauceI've always liked Spring Energy since they taste pretty good and never mess with my stomach, however I never really used them for races because they simply didn't have enough carbs. That got fixed when Awesome Sauce came out.
It just tastes like apple sauce, but that's okay with me. Pretty expensive for apple sauce, but the nutrition break down is better than normal apple sauce, and it's actually helpful for races. Higher carbs than other Spring Energy gels and good electrolytes too.
These powered me to my first sub 2:50 marathon. My only intake for the race was some of these and water at the aid stations. Temperatures were already above 90F by the last 10K, and I still managed to negative split and made it out without cramping. I think these were helpful. I probably wouldn't have used any other Spring Energy product for that race, even though I like the taste of a couple other ones more.
